With google partnerning with Apple for Apple iTV, u can be assured Google will support H.264 plus flash (VP6). Google already does support H.264 with their iPod versions. Plus youtube will also provide H.264 files in the future. |

It's not that hard to place a link under the video "Doesn't play? Click here!" You know, the same way Real, Quicktime, and flash have distributed themselves for the last decade. That's how QT got to be so common in the first place!
You want to design for quicktime, no one's going to stop you, but I was correcting the misconception that there are no other choices for browser-integrated streaming players. Google's had AVC and VP6 for a year now, so "will support" is a little late on the mark. popper, only the very last article you quote has anything to do with the web at all, which is what I was talking about. I wasn't denying that AVC is rapidly becoming terrestrial and satellite broadcasters' format of choice, or that it'll be a competitor on HD discs. (Although AVC requiring half the bitrate of VC-1 is every bit as much bullshit as the old claims of WMA sounding better at half the bitrate than MP3. At best full-bore high profile AVC has a 20% gain on VC-1, and with the limits imposed by broadcasters and HD-DVD/Bluray it's more like 5-10%.) |

it appears that they were saying AVC is half the bitrate of Mpeg2 not VC-1, and that as you know is easly true. just like people now have extreamly easy access to the mpeg2 ts DVB streams, it will become just as easy for users to also get access to the new AVC ts content as time passes, and hence why the easy software is really key to AVC being used from the end users POV.
